Thanks to Arnold Robbins for figuring this out--I've been wondering
where the "somewhere"s were coming from.
However, there is a bug in his fix. Suppose there is a "forwarded by"
line
>From frank Tue Apr 1 13:36 EST 1986 forwarded by frank
In this part of the fix:
/* check for "forwarded by ..." lines. ADR */
cp = rindex (lbuf, 'f');
the rindex will stop on the 'f' in "frank", not in "forwarded" as
Robbins intends.
